[Tex/LaTex] seqsplit – keep spaces

formattingwrap

Hey im looking to create a text wrap command to be used inside a table for long word wrapping. so far i have this:

\renewcommand{\seqinsert}{\ifmmode\allowbreak\else\-\fi}
\newcommand{\wrap}[1]{\seqinsert{\seqsplit{#1}}} % used to wrap really long words

This is working good. The problem is the seqsplit is removing the spaces. How to preserve the spaces in the text? The data coming in the table is dynamic, so gluing the words together with "~" or "/ " wont work.

Ive tried using:

\newcommand{\wrap}[1]{\seqinsert{\seqsplit{\StrSubstitute{#1}{ }{\~{}}}}} % used to wrap really long words

but this errors out. Id like to achieve this on the latex side so programmers using my template dont have to worry about formatting. any help will be great thanks

Here's a different implementation of \wrap that doesn't rely on \seqsplit, which is not made for respecting spaces.
